REWRITTEN! Link to new book; /s/11576460/1/ -The Blood We Cry

On a cold winter night, five kits who never had a chance to live were reborn, but because of that, they were hated. Shunned. Abused. And eventually exiled, not because they were reborn on the night of their death, but because they hold a secret. A secret that will destroy the clans. "Maybe you should have killed us when you had the chance, but it's too late. You're already dead."

Protected from the castle walls, completely oblivious to the warring world outside her, Princess Asuki has been pampered her entire life, having been fed delicious meals and given many valuables for her own. One night, her closest friend and the castle guards rebelled against her, and murdered her father in front of hers. That's when she noticed the world would never be safe. Ever.

When the cats moved from the forest territory to the lake, they received aid from The Tribe Of Rushing Water. To return their debt, every 10 years, they hold a competition that makes the final judge on which cat goes. Two best friends are sent up together, facing cold and cruel futures, but nonetheless, they must stick together, or else with one wrong step, they both will die.

Five cats, all the best of friends, have always lived in the United Clan, where all five clans are together at peace, and that's good, right? While hunting, the loving five stumble across a group of cats who call themselves the "Rebels". The "Rebels" bring the five to their camp, and there they learn the cruel history of their beloved Clan, and are left shattered forever.
